As a hosting provider, we're pretty much driven by what customers ask for.
About 4 years ago there was a big demand for mSQL. Over the past couple
years, in the consumers mind, unix + database = mysql. I think it
probably happened as you had mentioned that mysql previously had some
advantages over postgres, and thus offered mysql, which then got put into
consumers minds in a sort of vicious circle.

If you have a lot of shared hosting customers that need postgres,
installing it into our shared environment probably won't be that big a
deal. As for dedicated servers, if you're interested in working with a
local company, we can help you there. So as not to flood the list, please
drop me a personal email if you wish to discuss that further.
